Yo-Kai Watch 4 Delayed to Spring 2019

The latest issue of CoroCoro Comic has revealed that Yo-Kai Watch 4, the first title in Level-5's Yo-Kai Watch series to be on the Nintendo Switch, has been delayed to spring 2019 after originally planning to launch this winter.

The reasons for the delay are unknown. However, the fact that only off-screen gameplay footage from this year's TGS was previously revealed and there was no official gameplay trailer released online made it likely that a delay would be announced.

All versions of the previous three mainline Yo-Kai Watch titles launched on Nintendo 3DS in Japan, while North America and Europe have now received both Yo-Kai Watch and all three versions of Yo-Kai Watch 2, with Yo-Kai Watch 3 planning to launch on February 8, 2019, in North America and winter in Europe.

It is currently unknown which versions of Yo-Kai Watch 3 will be released outside of Japan.
